June 2013 Countdown Thread
This thread used to be known as Cocktails and Chocolates when I first started to follow it...I think both would be nice right about now. It's five o'clock somewhere in the world, right???New rules for the contest have done away with the ability to resubmit an image unless drastically altered. That makes things a bit trickier when I have travel planned, and well, just because I've often had resubs turn into finalists (last month for example). So, adjusting to the change is what needs to be done. I can't wait to see everyone's hopefuls! Helpful hints for attaching photos into Forum Threads:
1) Sign into BP completely (name + password.)
2) If you have NOT YET entered the Contest today, you can use the "Photo ID" to pull an existing image from your Member Center into your reply to this thread (avoiding a duplicate image upload.) Get the Photo ID# from your Member Center, come to back this thread, click Respond, enter the text of your reply, then choose "1" from the images-to-attach drop-down. Click Submit; at the next screen populate the "Photo ID" box at the right. Skip the other fields on that screen.
3) If you HAVE ALREADY entered the Contest today before replying to this thread, you can't use the Photo ID method today. You can either wait until tomorrow to reply here (before your new Contest entry!) or, upload a new copy of the particular image (from your PC) into this thread. This produces a duplicate image in your Member Center; however, you don't have to make that duplicate visible in your Gallery.
4) If you're uploading a duplicate, maybe title it "For Forum" so it stands out in your Member Center, for easier housecleaning later... This can help direct viewers to find the original image in your gallery, when they want to leave a comment. Likewise, if you want to add a comment to a photo seen here, try to tell if it is a duplicate upload. As a courtesy, try to find the original image in the member's gallery and leave your comment there instead of on the duplicate---that way, if the duplicate is deleted later, the comment history isn't lost. Good luck everyone!!!

My June entries are from page 1 - "Lost in Her Thoughts v2" to "k" I have several favorites and some that will not be entered again since they are resubs and the rules have changed. So, I'm crossing fingers, toes and ankles! Meanwhile, I did receive my first EVER POTD in June. I guess that's my pick to hopefully make finalist. Smiles to all!
